Reminder : the ARINC 661 

Standard, its Benefits

The ARINC 661 Standard at a Glance 

ARINC 661 is an Avionics Standard which describes: 

The Definition of Interactive Cockpit Display Systems (CDS) 

The Communication between the pilots (through the CDS) and the multiple 

distant/distributed User Applications (UA) managing the avionics functions. 

The ARINC 661 standard normalizes: 

A predefined set of avionics specific, and standard, HMI Widgets 

The Runtime Communication between the UAs and the CDS. This communication 

protocol is typically used for UAs to send widgets modifications to the CDS, and return 

user events (such as buttons selection) from CDS to UA.

Pilot inputs

ARINC 661 Look & Feel, Styleset 

The standard does NOT normalize: 

The widget’s “Look & Feel” 

Graphical aspect of each ARINC 661 object 

Behavior of each ARINC 661 object 

The CDS “Styleset” database 

Graphical definition (fonts, colors, textures, pictures) for object rendering 


ARINC 661 Benefits for Airframers 

Complete de-coupling between the logics (UAs) and the 

graphics (ARINC 661 Server) 

Easier handling of late changes 

UAs can be modified without impact 

on CDS server certification 

Incremental certification framework 

Clear definition and separation of responsibilities 

between the parties (CDS Supplier & UA Providers) 

Reuse of legacy UAs with small to no modifications 

Easier segregation between military and civilian 

applications 


ARINC 661 Benefits for CDS Suppliers 

Cockpit: significant marketing added value to aircrafts 

ARINC 661 server defines the cockpit look and feel 

Centralized way for pilots to interact with various avionics systems 

Based on pilot’s experience and feedback 

The CDS Supplier masters the ARINC 661 Server and 

can certify it for its own platform 

Only one communication 

protocol to interact with ALL 

the ARINC 661 compliant 

User Applications 


ARINC 661 Benefits for UA Providers 

Look & feel changes in the CDS ARINC 661 server have 

NO impact on UA certification 

UA reuse is facilitated on any ARINC 661 compliant 

aircraft 

No need to learn (and buy) a new protocol, or new tools, 

for each and every different aircraft 

A public standard allows the use of COTS tools
